UN: Security Council Resolution 1483 on Iraq

Source:

NGO WG on Women, Peace and Security

Includes a reference to Security Council Resolution 1325 in the preamble.

Having the mention of the
resolution on women, peace and security in the preamble is a concession by the
authors that equates to little more than a pat on the head for advocates for the
active implementation of UNSC Resolution 1325.

Throughout the period of
language negotiations on this resolution and the concurrent "securing and
reconstructing" of Iraq by the US-led Coalition, the NGO Working Group
formulated the following statement, which was sent to all Security Council
members, as well as to many UN staff. Concerned with the sponsors' lack of
gender perspective, including the acknowledgment of the need for women's active
participation in the creation of their society, as well as the resolution's lack
of a predominant role for the United Nations in the reconstruction of Iraq, the
NGO WG on Women, Peace and Security, which includes Women's International League
for Peace and Freedom, has released this statement.
